Leftover Turkey Pizza

Leftover Turkey Pizza is a delicious alternative to enjoying leftovers from a holiday meal. This pizza has it all! Turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes and cranberries. All of those holiday favorites take on a whole new flavor when combined with a white garlic pizza sauce along with a few dollops of ricotta and parmesan cheeses.

After you make this for your family, you might wonder where this flavor combination has been all these years!

Leftovers and Ingredients Needed

• cooked turkey
• stuffing
• sweet potatoes
• cranberry sauce
• ricotta cheese
• parmesan cheese
• white pizza sauce
• pizza crust

All you'll need is about 1 cup each of turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce.

A New Twist on Turkey

This recipe is a unique way to use up turkey leftovers, the familiar taste of turkey and sweet potatoes along with the stuffing and cranberry sauce get a whole new twist when placed alongside dollops of ricotta cheese.

I think my favorite part of this recipe is how the ingredients blend with the cheesy, garlicky white pizza sauce.

Use Up Those Holiday Leftovers

This recipe uses some, but not all of your holiday leftovers so there will be plenty left for sandwiches, turkey pot pie or soup.

I haven't included mashed potatoes - even though they are a part of most holiday leftovers - because the mashed potatoes don't keep their shape very well on a pizza crust and are a little bit too mushy.

White Sauce, Not Red Sauce

I love red sauce on pizza, but turkey, like chicken really tastes best on a white sauce. Once you've tasted turkey and these trimmings on a white pizza sauce you'll know why this is among the best ways to serve leftover turkey.

Making your white sauce from scratch is easy and fast. I think you'll love my white pizza sauce recipe, you control the amount of garlic - my family LOVES lots of garlic - and oregano and it's ready in under 15 minutes. Give it a try.
